Leeds United spent over £100 million on transfers ahead of their Premier League return last summer. The Whites benefited as the team managed to survive relegation in their first season back in the top flight.
The 49ers invested in the team and sign many starters.
Anton Stach, Jaka Bijol, Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin all brought real quality to the starting lineup. And in this summer window, the team will be hoping to do even better.
Leeds want to remain a consistent Premier League club and they are on their way.
This summer has seen them target upgrades to the first team squad. Harry Wilson has been a great addition; he will add some productivity to the attack which heavily depended on one player last year.
